Argh, I have to wait until I'm home from work to watch the Fadeless preview! But the photos! MY GOD! That picture with Kai stretched out seductively on the bed . . . I nearly fell face-first on my desk. (Yes, nosebleeding everywhere would be VERY unprofessional). What IS it with that boy lately? First the Melt pornphlet, then the Shoxx shoot with the orgasm picture (complete with white splatters on the page!) and now this. Not that I'm exactly complaining. Oh, HELL no. Whatever they're putting in his water as of late, I hope they give him gallons of it.

And meanwhile, we have a couple of damn scary stories of fangirl behavior: OneDirection fans threatening GQ staffers (American GQ staffers over an article that was posted on the British GQ site, yet) and a certain group of Korean Kpop fans who stalk their favorite bands to the point of invading their homes. Um, people? This is the sort of thing that gives ALL fans a bad name - and, as seen above, it's also the kind of thing that the mainstream media pays attention to, not the side of fandom that's about things like creativity and friendships. Stop, please.

I don't know what's happened to him, but I'm so very glad! Now everyone will finally realise how hot he is! :D

Wow. That behaviour makes the Gazefandom seem totally tame... O_O

[puss-nd-boots.livejournal.com]

Ha, FINALLY! Between the Melt shoot, the Shoxx shoot and this, the fandom won't be able to resist him. Maybe they will FINALLY stop seeing him as the unpaired leftover sock and start shipping him with bandmates. (Hey, Aoi practically has an out-of-band canon love interest. That leaves four boys to pair off with each other).

The behavior makes the Gaze fandom at its worst seem positively placid, doesn't it? I had seen jokes on Tumblr about how out-of-hand Directioners could be, but I didn't think they'd actually do something like threaten magazine staffers. o_O Granted, I'm sure those people aren't representative of their entire fandom - the lunatic fringe never is - but it's still pretty damn scary.

I have to agree with you..Whatever thing they put into his water lately, they have to add gallons of it...Let him kill us with his awesomeness. Add that thing more into his food...add it more, add it MMOOORRREEE... 8D

Geez...that scary...Now, we does sound tame...

[puss-nd-boots.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes they need to give him more of it, because he's starting to challenge Ruki for the title of "sex god of the band" now. (Okay, possibly Aoi co-holds that title).

[death-the-rose.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha....He is so CLOSE on winning..Just a little more time and he might has the title... =3 I hope he won't be abandoned anymore. I'm getting sick of AoiXUruha, RukiXReita, KaiX...KAI?????

Kai fics is very rare...for now maybe? I know I am a hard Kaita shipper and you're maybe a hard Kairuha shipper. xP

[puss-nd-boots.livejournal.com]

Actually, not quite hardcore - I've shipped Kai with quite a few guys. Kai X Uruha is probably my most-written pairing, but I've also done Aoi X Kai, Kai X Ruki, Kai X Shou and Tora X Kai. (And am bound and determined to make Byou X Kai happen somehow. ~_^)

[death-the-rose.livejournal.com]

Wow. It's so good of you that you can varies the ship....I can only write KaiXReita...The other seems to be a bit hard and I'm delaying things when people request it...xP But I love your stories of Kairuha.. (-///-) so hot....

[puss-nd-boots.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm going to be doing a Kai/Uruha in a week or so, since I'm participating in the uruai summer challenge. (I got one heck of a hard prompt to work with, but hey!)

I don't know about that Yes Kai is def starting to rise to it but our little chibi diva will probably always hold that title lol by the way did u guys notice the triangle lined down ruki throat pretty sexy!

[puss-nd-boots.livejournal.com]

I didn't even notice that he'd changed his neck makeup! I knew the old stripes were being phased out, but I didn't realize he'd come up with a new design! It looks great!

I remember G-Dragon's sister posting about how scared her and her family were because 'fans' would actually enter their home to catch a glimpse of him. It's terrifying. I'm sure I've also read about anti-fans who tried to poison a Kpop idol... The worst thing I've ever read about Kpop, though, was the Dream Concert in 2008. A friend at the time linked me to this article about it. One group was completely ignored, but apparently lots of violence took place between fans of different artists as well. I don't know how much truth there is to this, but it definitely shocked me at the time. Luckily, the people I've spoken to in the Kpop fandom so far have been lovely. But yeah, Gazette's fandom is definitely not that bad. XD

As for Kai: I don't even have words. ♥

[puss-nd-boots.livejournal.com]

That stuff is flat-out terrifying. And what I want to know is, aren't the Korean authorities giving these artists any kind of protection? I mean, they know they have all kinds of batshit insane fans, and that there's been, in some cases, specific threats. Why aren't they increasing the security for these performers? (And I can only imagine how the nice, normal, sane Kpop fans feel about these people. I headdesk enough whenever the GazettE fandom breaks out in loud and public wank).

[golden-kimono.livejournal.com]

You know, that's a good question, actually... Then again, one of my friends is currently a teacher over there and she'll often complain about the lack of child protection services and animal rights, so I'm not sure if much can be expected in the form of help. :/ (God yes! O__O This is why I prefer to be on the edge of fandoms most of them. XD In them enough to enjoy myself and make a few friends, but not enough to really get involved in any drama.)

The kpop crazy fans are really crazy. Invading their homes isn't the worst they have done actually. And there's a limit on how the Korean authorities can actually protect these artists. The band mentioned in the article, JYJ, has suffered way more than those crazed fans invading their home. And about golden_kimono's link about the Dream concert is true. Their fans are just CRAZY. Makes me glad that the GazettE fandom is wayy better than that.

Sexy Kai is <3
